![]() ![]() Is there still any need to read and write floppy disks for the HP9114 under LINUX? Note: you must have an non USB floppy disk drive and a suitable old controller.I have only one floppy disk that was written on a HP9114 drive and I could read it. Unfortunately I do not have a HP9114 disk drive to test the floppies that I created. The floppy driver was tweaked with the parameters of the HP 9122D/S drive format as documented by the FDIO project. Recently I obtained a floppy disk drive for my Thinkpad T41, applied some fixes that were needed to access the floppy disk on more recent LINUX versions and could format, write and read floppies successfully. ![]() This feature has continued in my fork at least for the "lifdump" and "lifimage" utilities but this has not been tested up to now. Tony Duell implemented in the "historic" lifutils the facility to read from and to write to floppy disks that are compatible to the HP9114 disk drive. ![]()
